Engine idles around 1000 when cold and when warmed up it idles real low and wants to die. Any answers? It seems to run fine when driving it, but when I come to stop at a stoplight, it idles real low and sometimes dies.

It is most likely the throttle body needs to be cleaned located on the intake manifold near the throttle body. This guide will help fix it.

Could be a vacuum leak as well
